Visualize

The power of the vision board

    What is a vision board? A vision board is a tool that most successful entreprenuers use to create and maintain their goals throughout the year. Earlier this year, I attended the 2nd annual Vision Board Party, hosted by local Vancouver blogger Genicca Whitney and friends.

Over a hundred local business owners, bloggers and entreprenuers gathered around tables, listening to sage advice from guest speakers such as creator and founder of the ever growing YVR Bloggers group and his the immensely popular "Daddy Blogger" - Ricky Shetty, Alana Ferro sharing her inspiring story of turning tragedy into triumph and fitness superstar Steely Springham with her very encouraging "It's never to late" tale of her rise to the top in the fitness model circuit. All while we clipped inspiring images, words and phrases from stacks of magazines and then pasted them to our giant poster boards. 

what does it mean to create a vision board?
 and why is it so important?

In today's fast paced culture, which is further perpetuated by social media, it's hard to set goals, stay focused and keep them. By creating a vision board and placing it in an area that you will see it, you are subconsciously imbedding these ideas into your mind. Most successful people will tell you that they use this tool, and yes, most have manifested that which they have posted on the board. 

This tool is important for many reasons, but one of the most important is visualizing the life that you would like, being real and honest with yourself.  What do you want to achieve? Where do you see yourself heading? These are the types of questions you need to ask yourself before you begin.

What you will need:

• Scissors
• Glue
• Magazines
• A general idea of what you are going for, or just cut and paste intuitively
• Poster board

Vision boards are great markers for your career path, you can always look back at them and see if it is still in alignment with you, or is it time to make a new one. 


Happy Creating!
